Total joint surgery rehabilitation

After your joint replacement surgery, we'll help you return to doing the things you love to do as soon as possible. Sue Jeffrey Physical Therapy will meet you wherever you're at, and guide you through the journey of recovering the full use of your new joint.

Effective exercises are needed to restore strength and mobility to your new joint.  A gradual return to everyday activities is important for your full recovery after joint replacement. Our experienced therapists will be with you ever step of the way to ensure your safety and comfort. 

You can begin your therapy shortly after surgery. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but these exercises will help speed your recovery and actually diminish your postoperative pain.

During the first six weeks after surgery, you'll make good progress week after week. Most patients will experience a gradual reduction in pain and an increase in mobility.

You will probably experience a noticeable improvement in your new joint, and a desire to do more activities. Please keep in mind that every patient is different and will improve at different pace. 

Advances in today's total joint replacement surgery and rehabilitation have made these types of surgeries very common and largely successful.
